With just over 450 players at the club, we also had an influx of female footballers ranging from 8 to 14 years old and the men’s team completed another full season and going from strength to strength.
Several team achievements this season were:
Under 13 Green Spring Trophy winners as well their league. Under 14 Gold were League Runners Up. Under 15 White were Spring Plate runners-up and won their league. Under 16 Silver were Spring and League Cup runners-up. Under 18 Gold were Challenge and Spring Cup runners-up and Under 18 White were League Cup runners-up.”
